Salient v9.5 is almost here.

The release is slated for a few days before the release of WordPress 5.0. We're looking for more users to try out the beta. If you're interested exploring awesome new features, reach out now and request access!

Updated

Site element loading when disabling page transitions - significant change. Almost all of the key layout design options
that were relying on Javascript to calculate have been changed to pure CSS calculations. This allows elements to become visible
to users immediately rather than waiting on the script to load/process. (Previously the screen just stayed blank until the javascript files loaded)

Version 8.5.3

Updated Visual Composer to include tinymce linebreak fix. NOTE: In order to get this fix and ensure WP 4.9/Firefox Quantum compatibility - you must update your version of the Salient VC in the plugins section once you've updated the theme. Just updating the theme alone won't apply the fix.

Version 8.0

Salient Studio - A custom section in the Salient Visual composer (make sure you've updated to the current Salient VC, which is now 5.0.1 to see it in its full form). The studio can be found in the templates section of the visual composer, there's over 150 templates we've created exclusive for Salient. They are all available to place into your pages in one click.

Improved portfolio/blog animation functionality - items now only fade in when scrolled into viewport, previously all items animated in as soon as the top of the portfolio/blog was in view which caused most of the animation to be missed by the user
